Russia braces for weekend of pro-Navalny protests

Russia is braced for a second weekend of unrest as the Kremlin cracks down on protests in support of the jailed opposition leader Navalny. In a new letter, Navalny thanked his supporters while appearing to nod to the ’stop the cockroach’ demonstrations against the Belarusian leader Lukashenko. A rally is planned on Sunday near the headquarters of the FSB, the agency accused of poisoning Navalny.
